"He loved me, and I loved him not: why spurn

A trifle out of superfluity?

He had forgotten he had done as much."

So had not I! Henceforth, try as I could

To take him at his word, there stood by you

My benefactor; who might speak and laugh

And urge his nothings, even banter me

Before you—but my tongue was tied. A dream!

Let 's wake: your husband ... how you shake at that!

Good—my revenge!
